Prevalence of precore mutants in anti-HBe-positive hepatitis B virus carriers in Germany.

Journal of medical virology - 1 Sept 1999

Knöll A, Rohrhofer A, Kochanowski B, Wurm E M, Jilg W

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore mutants are associated often with highly productive infection in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers lacking hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) but positive for anti-HBe, rendering serological identification of infectious individuals unreliable. Although considered initially to be limited mostly to the Mediterranean area, more recent studies suggest a significant presence of...
